My Goals:
I would like to be at a weight that would be healthy, make my doctor happy, and allow me to once more feel good about myseld. I am aiming for 170, knowing that every single pound lost is meaningful

My Program:
The Beck Diet Solution makes incredible sense for me, and I am following it faithfully, beginning today! I just bought the book on 12/27/07. I am using SparkPeople to record food, help me emphasize good protein, help me eliminate refined carbs, and track exercise. I have a good friend who will help coach me through the tough times, but I am also hoping to find support among the Beck SparkTeam.

Personal Information:
Married for 18 years with two children, daughter age 17 and son age 14. Two grown step-daughters, 25 and 30, living away from home. Love animals: one dog, three cats, and three hermit crabs.

Other Information:
I love to read and Andrew Vachss is my favorite writer. Also love movies, music (Vittorio, Andrea Bocelli), my IPOD, knitting scarves, making soups, and having tea with friends. I like to swim, spin, walk, and lift weights.

Hi! Thanks for your kind comments on my blog! It means so much to know that people care; even people who don't know me! It was a hard holiday season but I am ready to forge on and meet my goal in 2008! Best Wishes to you for your success also! Shari

Thanks for visiting my blog. Vinnies is St Vincent de Pauls here in Australia. They take old clothes etc for resale or reconstituting. I love your photographs and your cats as a background. Take care, Sandy
